Configure Selenium - Capybara on Chrome - google-chrome

I'm using Chrome as my default user while testing with Capybara. What I want to do is configure that chrome instance so that it doesn't suggest remembering username and password on a login page.
How can I do that ?

I think you should customize Chrome's profile:
Try to set extensions.password_manager_enabled to false:
Capybara.register_driver :chrome do |app|
profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Chrome::Profile.new
profile['extensions.password_manager_enabled'] = false
Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, :browser => :chrome, profile: profile)
end
If it doesn't work, look at other Chrome preferences and switches.

Using acceptInsecureCerts with Headless Chrome and Selenium Webdriver, macOS, Rails, Capybara

Question
Does headless Chrome work with self-signed certificates via the Selenium Webdriver on macOS?
Info
I am attempting to get Rails system tests driven by headless Chrome over SSL.
I have a locally self-signed certificate that I pass the the ruby Puma application server to terminate SSL requests. In order to allow drivers to ignore SSL warnings on the locally signed certificate, I am using the acceptInsecureCerts flag to configure the driver capabilities.
I'm led to believe by this ticket in Chromium that this flag should be recognized as of Chrome 64+.
I can get tests to succeed with Chrome, Firefox, and headless Firefox. Tests do not pass under headless Chrome. I am using (at the time of this writing) what I believe to be the latest versions of Chrome and its variants.
Though folks in the Chromium ticket appear to be successfully running headless Chrome over locally-signed SSL with the Selenium webdriver, I have not found this to work with the setup described here. If my configuration is correct, then I am unsure if there is a limitation in headless Chrome on macOS, in Selenium webdriver ruby gem, or something else I haven't considered. If anyone has something similar working with Rails on macOS, I'd be interested to learn about your setup.
Source
Here is some code to show how I am configuring and running my RSpec/Capybara tests.
Test setup
# rails_helper.rb
# ... standard rspec rails helper setup omitted ...
Capybara.register_driver(:headless_chrome) do |app|
options = Selenium::WebDriver::Chrome::Options.new(
args: %w[--headless --disable-gpu --no-sandbox --disable-web-security]
)
capabilities = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.chrome(
acceptInsecureCerts: true,
)
Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(
app,
browser: :chrome,
options: options,
desired_capabilities: capabilities
)
end
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.before(:each, type: :system) do
driven_by :headless_firefox
end
end
module SystemTestHelpers
def key_file_path
Rails.root.join("config", "ssl", "ssl-lvh.me.key")
end
def cert_file_path
Rails.root.join("config", "ssl", "ssl-lvh.me.crt")
end
def using_app_host(host)
original_host = Capybara.app_host
Capybara.app_host = host
Capybara.server = :puma, {
Host: "ssl://#{Capybara.server_host}?key=#{key_file_path}&cert=#{cert_file_path}"
}
yield
ensure
Capybara.app_host = original_host
end
end
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.include SystemTestHelpers, type: :system
end
Sample test
# spec/system/welcome_spec.rb
require 'rails_helper'
RSpec.feature "Welcome", :js, type: :system do
scenario "Visit homepage" do
using_app_host('https://subdomain.lvh.me') do
visit "/"
expect(page).to have_content('Welcome')
expect(page).to have_content('Your domain: subdomain.lvh.me')
expect(page).to have_content('Your protocol: https://')
end
end
end
Page content:
<div>
<h2>Welcome!</h2>
<p>Your protocol: <%= request.protocol %></p>
<p>Your domain: <%= request.host %></p>
</div>
If I swap out the driver for headless Firefox, configured as below, the tests will pass.
Capybara.register_driver(:headless_firefox) do |app|
options = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Options.new(args: %w[--headless])
capabilities = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.firefox(
acceptInsecureCerts: true,
)
Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(
app,
browser: :firefox,
options: options,
desired_capabilities: capabilities
)
end
The complete source code for an app that reproduces the issue, and includes the code above is located here: https://bitbucket.org/rossta/system-test-demo.
Debug output
Here's a link to some debug output from running the test in either headless Chrome or headless Firefox: https://gist.github.com/rossta/b160204baa87a520e7888c19c8b1ed98.
Note in the output that the session response does not include the 'acceptInsecureCerts' capability for Chrome (test-headless-chrome.log, line 15) while in Firefox we do see the session include the flag (test-headless-firefox.log, line 22).
System
MacOS 10.13.6
Rails 5.2.1
Ruby 2.4.1
capybara (gem) 3.5.1
selenium-webdriver (gem) 3.14.0
chromdriver-helper (gem) 2.34
Chrome 68.0.3440.106. Have also tried
Google Chrome 70.0.3524.0 canary
Chromium 70.0.3525.0
From your log it shows that it's starting chromedriver v2.34. acceptInsecureCerts support wasn't added until 2.35 and you should really be running the latest (2.41 currently). Update your version of chromedriver and things should work.
caps = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.firefox
caps['acceptInsecureCerts'] = true

Selenium/Protractor & Chrome - Client certificate

When trying to access a specific test environment with Chrome, spawned by protractor/ selenium webdriver, a chrome popup is displayed prompting me to select the client certificate to use to authenticate with this site.
There's only one certificate installed - is there any way for this to be autoselected?
Try to add following configuration to Protractor conf.js:
capabilities : {
browserName : 'chrome',
'chromeOptions': {args: ['--test-type']}
}

Chrome master preferences

I'm writing a protractor test that opens new tabs (in Chrome).
because Chrome settings are per user and the instance that opened by Protractor is anonymous - the pop-up settings are set to block all, so the test fails. I want to set setting for all users.
I've understood that I suppose to set the 'master_preference' file that supposed to be located under /library/Google (on Mac OX) and I don't find that file. Any ideas?
You need to let your Chrome know that you don't want the popups being blocked by setting the --disable-popup-blocking argument:
capabilities: {
browserName: 'chrome',
chromeOptions: {
args: ['disable-popup-blocking']
}
},

Selenium, ChromeDriver start app

I would like to test a Chrome App with the help of WebDriver.
Normally when you want to directly start an App you pass the argument --app-id for e.g:
/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --app-id=olddgoefnehjeogjhpcpolcnnifnglkp
Bur I'm not able to start my Chrome App with chromedriver:
I tried:
Selenium::WebDriver.for :chrome, :args => ["--app-id=olddgoefnehjeogjhpcpolcnnifnglkp"]
Steps to reproduce:
Go to the Chrome Web Store
Install an App
Go to preferences --> Extensions
Enable Developer-Modus
Now you can see the App-Id for eg: ID: olddgoefnehjeogjhpcpolcnnifnglkp
Try to start WebDriver with this option:
driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :chrome, :args => ["--app-id=olddgoefnehjeogjhpcpolcnnifnglkp"]
Here is a list of arguments that should be valid for chromedriver:
